Rejoice with Imperfections

Being strong means rejoicing in who you are, complete with imperfections
-        Margaret Woodhouse

These days, most of us are always unhappy. We always think ifs and buts…
If only…
My nose was longer
Lips were thicker
Hair was straighter/curly… Longer/shorter…
Eyes were bigger/smaller…
That we were brighter… taller... fairer… thinner…
That we had more money… better job…

Outcome?

We are always unhappy. We are in constant lookout for something we don’t have thereby not noticing or appreciating what we have.

And is this making us happy? Do we really believe that we would be better, stronger and powerful if we get what we don’t have? Or is it just the greed which is in default within us!
